98 originated yesterday, 10/5, with the intention of operating to NYP. That plan was nixed mid-morning and 98 terminated in JAX. Thus 97 is operating JAX-MIA today with the equipment that would otherwise have been sitting in JAX.There is a new update on Amtrak.com, basically confirming what we already knew. The Palmetto, Silver Meteor, and Auto Train are cancelled today and tomorrow (and probably longer, but it doesn't state that). The Carolinian and Silver Star (Jacksonville to Miami only) are operating.
Track-a-train shows #97 on the move in Florida, though the Amtrak notice simply says it is cancelled and makes no mention of it running in the sunshine state. Empty equipment move, perhaps?
The Star is operating a baby consist of one baggage car, one lounge and three coaches between MIA-JAX. I suspect the new cafe menu which will be catered out of NYP isn't starting on the Star tomorrow...
